Claude Code Status Lines Surface Live Limits

This is a small but valuable workflow upgrade that tackles one of Claude Code’s biggest frustrations: limited visibility into consumption and context pressure.

• –Official fields expose rate-limit percentages, reset times, and context usage.
• –`/statusline` can generate a customized script from natural-language instructions.
• –Custom scripts support richer dashboards with model, directory, cost, Git state, and usage data.
• –Developers must handle missing fields because rate-limit data depends on account type and becomes available after an API response.
• –The feature directly addresses community complaints about cost visibility and usage-limit surprises.
